Aga Khan Museum in collaboration with the Institute of Islamic Studies and McGill University presents Fareed Ayaz, Abu Muhammad Qawwal and Brothers.
Masters of Qawwali Sufi music as well as classical genres such as tarana, thumri and khayal, they belong to the Qawwal Bachon ka Gharana of Delhi, a music school founded in the 14th century that remains the best-known gharana today. Weaving together devotional and secular traditions, Ayaz and company have been bringing South Asian music to international audiences for over thirty years.
Saturday, September 27, 8:00 p.m. – Sunday, September 28, 2:00 p.m. at Aga Khan Museum Auditorium.

Only after watching a documentary on a qawwali family did I appreciate the beauty of the music (because it was subtitled so I could understand the meaning)
